It turns out that writing about Confusing and Befuddlement Draughts is confusing. And befuddling. I keep getting the two mixed up.

I was thinking anyone who wants can meet on Friday again, we could keep working on our things for Defence and Dark Arts. Even if Professor Dolohov and Professor Raz come back before then, I figure it'd still be worth it. I mean, we don't have to meet every single week, obviously. I know everyone is busy and all. But maybe we meet for at least this week, and we can talk at the meeting to see if we want to make it a regular thing, maybe every other week or something if people would still be interested after things go back to normal.

Daphs, the Review thing looks like it'll be fun. Did you come up with the idea to have different songs from different decades and things? I'm not a really good singer. Or, you know, a dancer. Obviously. But I can help with the lights and things or something.

Private Message to Cedric and Draco

[alt_harry]

You up for flying again tomorrow?

Re: Private Message to Cedric and Draco

[alt_cedric]

Yeah I'd enjoy that. Same time?

Re: Private Message to Cedric and Draco

[alt_harry]

Okay.

[alt_blaise]

I've finished with the Potions essay, if you wanted to talk about it. Are you still finding it difficult?

Excellent about Friday. I'll be there, of course. Not sure about Teds. He was a bit funny when he saw this. Been in a bit of a mood recently, hasn't he?

[alt_harry]

Yeah, I finally finished. I had to make a chart to make sure I kept everything straight. Maybe we could talk about it just to make sure, though.

Good. And he has, yeah. More that usual, I mean. Maybe it's just his not wanting to be in the Theoretical section?

Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_hermione]

Did you talk to Longbottom? Or Fellsworthy and Featherstone?

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_harry]

Was that why Weasley was writing them? I was wondering about that.

They run with Strangeweale, don't they? Daphs and Draco complain about that crowd all the time. The second-years, I mean. I'm not surprised they're getting up to something.

But yeah. I'll see if Longbottom comes to the Friday meeting again, maybe I can catch him after or something. And if you hear of anything else, let me know, okay?

I guess it'd be sort of hard, having parents like that. Well. Obviously. Remember when Draco was convinced that Longbottom was pretending to be thick because he was secretly evil like his parents? Which is sort of ridiculous if you think about it too much.

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_hermione]

Of course it's ridiculous. It's like how other people are supposed to be evil when really they aren't.

And those second-years have never really stopped, you know. People think just because they're Gryffindors that no one cares what happens.

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_harry]

Well, yeah. Like Sinbad. Or Milland. Although I'm not sure about Professor Brutka. Not that he's evil, you know. But he's still weird.

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_hermione]

Loads of people are really cross with Professor Brutka, too. Because they can't figure out what he wants.

(By the way, if you want to ask Bell, or Chang, or anyone else, for that matter, you should just ask. Like Sinbad said. If she's not interested but says yes anyways, you'll figure it out quickly enough. Or I will and I'll tell you.)

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_harry]

You make it sound so easy.

I don't think I'd ask Chang, though. I mean, she's fit and everything, but after all that business with the Ball and Cedric, it'd be sort of awkward.

Not to mention she'd probably have the same sort of problems with me that she did with Ced.

Is Bell seeing anyone?

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_hermione]

Well, it's not difficult. I mean it's not like brewing a potion or stealing a dragon's egg.

Do you want me to find out? About Bell, I mean.

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_harry]

Potions come with instructions.

Maybe? Okay. Yeah. I would.

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_hermione]

No, she's not going out with anyone at present.

So ask her, will you?

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_harry]

Okay?

Do I have to ask her now? Because Hogsmeade isn't until the 15th. And it's not like there's much of anything we could do before then.

I mean, I wouldn't ask her on the 15th. I'd ask her before. But like a week before? Would that be okay?

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_hermione]

Oh, for Merlin's sake.

There's a Quidditch match next Saturday.

If you want to ask her, ask to sit with her for that.

If you don't want to ask her, then don't ask her.

Either way, stop whinging.

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_harry]

Oh.

Okay.

And I'm not whinging, it's just sort of... sudden?

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_hermione]

It's not sudden at all. You've been moping about not being able to ask anyone out since before Chang. And even more since after her, and I know you wrote to Sinbad about it, too, and I've just--you're just--just that you've got no reason to be so unhappy about things when it's in your head.

I mean, even Malfoy isn't this thick when it comes to girls.

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_harry]

There. I talked to him.

And what's with the whole Master thing? Did someone say something?

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_hermione]

No one said anything. It's anyone's guess who's watching.

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_harry]

Right.

Okay.

Sorry.

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_hermione]

What did Nev Longbottom say?

Re: Private Message to Master Harry

[alt_harry]

He said it's not the first time. Which is, you know, not good. But he's worried enough that he wants to learn more on Defence.

I knew he had a sister and all, but I didn't think

Well, I guess they're both quiet about it.

[alt_neville]

I'll come again, sure. And I'd be interested in making it a regular thing.

[alt_harry]

Sure. See you then.

Private Message to Neville Longbottom

[alt_harry]

So.

I heard a rumour that some second-years were giving your sister a hard time. Evelyn, yeah?

Anyways. That's not on. And if they do anything more, I'd like to hear about it. If that's okay with you.

And it really is fine. Your coming to the study group, I mean.

Re: Private Message to Neville Longbottom

[alt_neville]

How did you hear?

That...yeah. I'd like to say 'no' but I've already had words with her about not keeping stuff like that from me, so I can hardly deny it. It happened some last year, too. But I guess it's starting up again now a bit because of some of the reports from Ireland. That our fath Frank Longbottom was spotted. So we're hearing 'blood traitor' muttered after us in the hallways. And--yeah. That's part of the reason I want to get extra lessons in Defence.

So thanks.

Re: Private Message to Neville Longbottom

[alt_harry]

Granger said she saw something.

And anyways, it's like Parkinson said. Everyone deserves a chance.

We can't choose who our parents are.

Private Message to Harry Marvolo

[alt_michael]

Marvolo,

Do you think Sally-Anne will be there?

Re: Private Message to Harry Marvolo

[alt_harry]

Um.

Probably?
